[...] in the fourth quarter of 2007, Mississippi had the highest loan delinquency rate in the country with 11.07% of loans with installments past due, nearly double the national average of 6.31%. Hancock Bank recently announced a new mortgage division initiative to help homebuyers avoid mortgage pitfalls including adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). Dan Zoble, Hancock Bank senior vice president and mortgage division manager, said Hancock Bank is the first Gulf South financial institution to offer this level of web-based mortgage functionality.
Foreclosure is a serious problem in our country. We estimate that a staggering one million families will face foreclosure this year. Not only does a foreclosure have disastrous financial impact on a family, but it also has harsh consequences for an entire community. Our community has long been at the "leading edge" of financial turbulence and downturns. The term "last hired, first fired" is not only applicable on the job, but also describes the financial situation in our community. Mortgage foreclosure is just a step above bankruptcy in the damage that it can do to an individual's financial record. If you or a relative are having trouble making your mortgage payments or you have an adjustable rate mortgage that may step up to a higher rate, get help now!
My name is John Shields and I almost lost my home to an adjustable rate mortgage. I took action and got help, but it's going to be a long process and it's not over yet. I'm telling my story so that maybe, one other family like mine will also be able to stay in their home. I'm so thankful that I took initiative and called the HOPE hotline. We're currently working with my lender to find the best solution for my situation. I'm a real, hard working Californian who wants others to know that there is real hope for families just like mine. The most important thing I want to stress to other homeowners in this situation is do not stop talking to your lender. You need to answer your phone, you need to read the notices they are sending you. You do not need to walk away from your home, there is hop...

DeLuca: High ratings ledmany to buy mortgage-backed securities Question: Are we in for a stock market crash? I've read that several hedge funds have called their investors and told them they would not receive any money back from their investment. And at Bear Sterns, they closed two funds and fired the top executives. Hillary Clinton even said the government should find a way to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. I'm not affected by the adjustable- rate-mortgage problems because I have a fixed mortgage at a good rate, but I am concerned about my retirement savings. For several years it grew at an OK pace, but the large drop recently is scary. Is it time to rethink my investments?

This paper examines some of the more recent mortgage products now available to borrowers. The authors describe how these products differ across important characteristics, such as the down payment requirement, repayment structure, and amortization schedule. The paper also presents a model with the potential to analyze the implications for various mortgage contracts for individual households, as well as to address many current housing market issues. In this paper, the authors use the model to examine the implications of alternative mortgages for homeownership. The authors use the model to show that interest rate-adjustable mortgages and combo loans can help explain the rise-and fall-in homeownership since 1994.
The five banks behind the new Mortgage Relief Fund, a $125 million initiative formally launched Thursday, are aiming to help homeowners in danger of defaulting on mortgage payments, but caution it is not a remedy for all borrowers who are in trouble. The fund is a combined effort among Citizens Bank, Sovereign Bank, TD Banknorth, Webster Bank and Bank of America, each of which have contributed $25 million. The program's goal is to help homeowners with adjustable-rate mortgages in good standing who are in danger of defaulting on their loans once the adjustable interest rates reset. The fund will help them refinance into fixed-rate loans. The program is not intended to aid the rising number of homeowners who are "seriously delinquent" on their mortgage payments or facing imminent foreclos...
